  5. Preheat the oven to 350 F (180°C).
  6. Pour olive oil into a small skillet and heat over medium heat.

  8. Add the beef, thyme, and garlic.
  9. Add salt, pepper and mix.
  10. Cook over medium heat for 3 minutes, stirring frequently.
  11. In the bottom of a baking dish, spread the meat mixture and spread the mashed potatoes on top.
  12. Sprinkle grated cheese and cook for 25 minutes.
  13. Finish cooking with 3 to 5 minutes under the grill to brown the cheese and for the surface to be golden brown.
